<ul>
<li><p class="first">Security</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">An improvement was made to the MySQL and MySQLi drivers to prevent
exposing a potential vector for SQL injection on sites using
multi-byte character sets in the database client connection.
An incompatibility in PHP versions &lt; 5.2.3 and MySQL &lt; 5.0.7 with
<em>mysql_set_charset()</em> creates a situation where using multi-byte
character sets on these environments may potentially expose a SQL
injection attack vector. Latin-1, UTF-8, and other &#8220;low ASCII&#8221;
character sets are unaffected on all environments.</p>
<p>If you are running or considering running a multi-byte character
set for your database connection, please pay close attention to
the server environment you are deploying on to ensure you are not
vulnerable.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">General Changes</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed a bug where there was a misspelling within a code comment in
the index.php file.</li>
<li>Added Session Class userdata to the output profiler. Additionally,

<li>Removed internal usage of the EXT constant.</li>
<li>Visual updates to the welcome_message view file and default error
templates. Thanks to <a class="reference external" href="https://bitbucket.org/danijelb">danijelb</a>
for the pull request.</li>
<li>Added insert_batch() function to the PostgreSQL database driver.

<ul class="simple">
<li>Added ENVIRONMENT to reserved constants. (Reactor #196)</li>
<li>Changed server check to ensure SCRIPT_NAME is defined. (Reactor #57)</li>
<li>Removed APPPATH.&#8217;third_party&#8217; from the packages autoloader to negate
needless file stats if no packages exist or if the developer does not
load any other packages by default.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug (Reactor #231) where Sessions Library database table
example SQL did not contain an index on last_activity. See <a class="reference internal" href="installation/upgrade_203.html"><em>Upgrade
Notes</em></a>.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug (Reactor #229) where the Sessions Library example SQL in
the documentation contained incorrect SQL.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug (Core #340) where when passing in the second parameter to
$this-&gt;db-&gt;select(), column names in subsequent queries would not be
properly escaped.</li>
<li>Fixed issue #199 - Attributes passed as string does not include a
space between it and the opening tag.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug where the method $this-&gt;cart-&gt;total_items() from <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/cart.html"><em>Cart
Library</em></a> now returns the sum of the quantity
of all items in the cart instead of your total count.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug where not setting &#8216;null&#8217; when adding fields in db_forge
for mysql and mysqli drivers would default to NULL instead of NOT
NULL as the docs suggest.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug where using $this-&gt;db-&gt;select_max(),
$this-&gt;db-&gt;select_min(), etc could throw notices. Thanks to w43l for
the patch.</li>
<li>Replace checks for STDIN with php_sapi_name() == &#8216;cli&#8217; which on the
whole is more reliable. This should get parameters in crontab
working.</li>

<p>Release Date: January 28, 2011
Hg Tag: v2.0.0</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>General changes<ul>
<li>PHP 4 support is removed. CodeIgniter now requires PHP 5.1.6.</li>
<li>Scaffolding, having been deprecated for a number of versions, has
been removed.</li>
<li>Plugins have been removed, in favor of Helpers. The CAPTCHA plugin
has been converted to a Helper and
<a class="reference internal" href="helpers/captcha_helper.html"><em>documented</em></a>. The JavaScript
calendar plugin was removed due to the ready availability of great
JavaScript calendars, particularly with jQuery.</li>
<li>Added new special Library type:
<a class="reference internal" href="general/drivers.html"><em>Drivers</em></a>.</li>

<li>Moved system/cache and system/logs directories to the application
directory.</li>

controller sub-directory can be specified when running _GET
strings instead of URI segments.</li>
<li>Added ability to set &#8220;Package&#8221; paths - specific paths where the
Loader and Config classes should try to look first for a requested
file. This allows distribution of sub-applications with their own
libraries, models, config files, etc. in a single &#8220;package&#8221;
directory. See the <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/loader.html"><em>Loader class</em></a>

<h2>Version 1.7<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-7" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Release Date: October 23, 2008
Hg Tag: 1.7.0</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Libraries<ul>
<li>Added a new <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/form_validation.html"><em>Form Validation
Class</em></a>. It simplifies setting
rules and field names, supports arrays as field names, allows
groups of validation rules to be saved in a config file, and adds
some helper functions for use in view files. <strong>Please note that
the old Validation class is now deprecated</strong>. We will leave it in
the library folder for some time so that existing applications
that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to migrate to
the new version.</li>
<li>Updated the <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/sessions.html"><em>Sessions class</em></a> so that
any custom data being saved gets stored to a database rather than
the session cookie (assuming you are using a database to store
session data), permitting much more data to be saved.</li>
<li>Added the ability to store libraries in subdirectories within
either the main &#8220;libraries&#8221; or the local application &#8220;libraries&#8221;
folder. Please see the <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/loader.html"><em>Loader class</em></a> for
more info.</li>
<li>Added the ability to assign library objects to your own variable
names when you use $this-&gt;load-&gt;library(). Please see the <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/loader.html"><em>Loader
class</em></a> for more info.</li>
<li>Added controller class/method info to <a class="reference internal" href="general/profiling.html"><em>Profiler
class</em></a> and support for multiple database
connections.</li>
<li>Improved the &#8220;auto typography&#8221; feature and moved it out of the
helper into its own <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/typography.html"><em>Typography
Class</em></a>.</li>
<li>Improved performance and accuracy of xss_clean(), including
reduction of false positives on image/file tests.</li>
<li>Improved <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/parser.html"><em>Parser class</em></a> to allow
multiple calls to the parse() function. The output of each is
appended in the output.</li>
<li>Added max_filename option to set a file name length limit in the
<a class="reference internal" href="libraries/file_uploading.html"><em>File Upload Class</em></a>.</li>
<li>Added set_status_header() function to <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/output.html"><em>Output
class</em></a>.</li>
<li>Modified <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/pagination.html"><em>Pagination</em></a> class to only
output the &#8220;First&#8221; link when the link for page one would not be
shown.</li>
<li>Added support for mb_strlen in the <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/form_validation.html"><em>Form
Validation</em></a> class so that
multi-byte languages will calculate string lengths properly.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Database<ul>
<li>Improved Active Record class to allow full path column and table
names: hostname.database.table.column. Also improved the alias
handling.</li>
<li>Improved how table and column names are escaped and prefixed. It
now honors full path names when adding prefixes and escaping.</li>
<li>Added Active Record caching feature to &#8220;update&#8221; and &#8220;delete&#8221;
functions.</li>
<li>Added removal of non-printing control characters in escape_str()
of DB drivers that do not have native PHP escaping mechanisms
(mssql, oci8, odbc), to avoid potential SQL errors, and possible
sources of SQL injection.</li>
<li>Added port support to MySQL, MySQLi, and MS SQL database drivers.</li>
<li>Added driver name variable in each DB driver, based on bug report
#4436.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Helpers<ul>
<li>Added several new &#8220;setting&#8221; functions to the <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/form_helper.html"><em>Form
helper</em></a> that allow POST data to be
retrieved and set into forms. These are intended to be used on
their own, or with the new <a class="reference internal" href="libraries/form_validation.html"><em>Form Validation
Class</em></a>.</li>
<li>Added current_url() and uri_segments() to <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/url_helper.html"><em>URL
helper</em></a>.</li>
<li>Altered auto_link() in the <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/url_helper.html"><em>URL
helper</em></a> so that email addresses with
&#8220;+&#8221; included will be linked.</li>
<li>Added meta() function to <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/html_helper.html"><em>HTML
helper</em></a>.</li>
<li>Improved accuracy of calculations in <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/number_helper.html"><em>Number

functions.</li>

helper</em></a> function human_to_unix(),
and eliminated the POSIX regex.</li>
<li>Updated <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/date_helper.html"><em>Date helper</em></a> to match the
world&#8217;s current time zones and offsets.</li>
<li>Modified url_title() in the <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/url_helper.html"><em>URL
helper</em></a> to remove characters and digits
that are part of character entities, to allow dashes, underscores,
and periods regardless of the $separator, and to allow uppercase
characters.</li>
<li>Added support for arbitrary attributes in anchor_popup() of the
<a class="reference internal" href="helpers/url_helper.html"><em>URL helper</em></a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Other Changes<ul>
<li>Added <a class="reference internal" href="general/styleguide.html"><em>PHP Style Guide</em></a> to docs.</li>
<li>Added sanitization in xss_clean() for a deprecated HTML tag that
could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.</li>
<li>Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile
agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.</li>
<li>Added a file lock check during caching, before trying to write to
the file.</li>
<li>Modified Cookie key cleaning to unset a few troublesome key names
that can be present in certain environments, preventing CI from
halting execution.</li>
<li>Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather
than clear, and added the id &#8220;codeigniter_profiler&#8221; to the
container div.</li>

your controllers will received the final rendered output from the
output class. More info in the <a class="reference internal" href="general/controllers.html"><em>Controllers</em></a>
page.</li>

Class</em></a> to let you retrieve and manipulate URI

function, which allows you to set server headers.</li>

cookie settings were not being honored.</li>
<li>Fixed an oversight in the upload class. An item mentioned in the 1.4
changelog was missing.</li>
<li>Added some code to allow email attachments to be reset when sending
batches of email.</li>
<li>Deprecated the application/scripts folder. It will continue to work
for legacy users, but it is recommended that you create your own
<a class="reference internal" href="general/libraries.html"><em>libraries</em></a> or
<a class="reference internal" href="general/models.html"><em>models</em></a> instead. It was originally added
before CI had user libraries or models, but it&#8217;s not needed anymore.</li>

<li>Redesigned the <a class="reference internal" href="database/query_builder.html"><em>Active Record class</em></a>
to enable more varied types of queries with simpler syntax, and
advanced features like JOINs.</li>
<li>Added a feature to the database class that lets you run <a class="reference internal" href="database/call_function.html"><em>custom
function calls</em></a>.</li>
<li>Added support for <a class="reference internal" href="general/controllers.html"><em>private functions</em></a> in your
controllers. Any controller function name that starts with an
underscore will not be served by a URI request.</li>
<li>Added the ability to pass your own initialization parameters to your
<a class="reference internal" href="general/creating_libraries.html"><em>custom core libraries</em></a> when using
$this-&gt;load-&gt;library()</li>
<li>Added support for running standard <a class="reference internal" href="general/urls.html"><em>query string URLs</em></a>.
These can be optionally enabled in your config file.</li>
<li>Added the ability to <a class="reference internal" href="general/urls.html"><em>specify a &#8220;suffix&#8221;</em></a>, which will be
appended to your URLs. For example, you could add .html to your URLs,
making them appear static. This feature is enabled in your config
file.</li>
<li>Added a new error template for use with native PHP errors.</li>
<li>Added &#8220;alternator&#8221; function in the <a class="reference internal" href="helpers/string_helper.html"><em>string
helpers</em></a>.</li>
<li>Removed slashing from the input class. After much debate we decided
to kill this feature.</li>
<li>Change the commenting style in the scripts to the PEAR standard so
that IDEs and tools like phpDocumenter can harvest the comments.</li>
<li>Added better class and function name-spacing to avoid collisions with
user developed classes. All CodeIgniter classes are now prefixed with
CI_ and all controller methods are prefixed with _ci to avoid
controller collisions. A list of reserved function names can be
<a class="reference internal" href="general/controllers.html"><em>found here</em></a>.</li>
<li>Redesigned how the &#8220;CI&#8221; super object is referenced, depending on
whether PHP 4 or 5 is being run, since PHP 5 allows a more graceful
way to manage objects that utilizes a bit less resources.</li>
<li>Deprecated: $this-&gt;db-&gt;use_table() has been deprecated. Please read
the <a class="reference internal" href="database/query_builder.html"><em>Active Record</em></a> page for
information.</li>
<li>Deprecated: $this-&gt;db-&gt;smart_escape_str() has been deprecated.
Please use this instead: $this-&gt;db-&gt;escape()</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the exception handler which was preventing some PHP
errors from showing up.</li>
<li>Fixed a typo in the URI class. $this-&gt;total_segment() should be
plural: $this-&gt;total_segments()</li>
<li>Fixed some typos in the default calendar template</li>
<li>Fixed some typos in the user guide</li>
</ul>

libraries</em></a> and store them in your local

class</em></a>, enabling files to be
